Hello
I too am part of the Steele family.
My great grandfather was William Steele.
He owned the royal George hotel which he sold I believe in 1936.
He had two daughters, Florence who was my great grandmothers daughter, and my grandmother Mary who was the daughter of both Amy and William.
All I know is my great great grandfather was a ‘taxi’ horse and carriage. A businessman who we believe lost his estate when he died as he didn’t have a will and wasn’t married to his wife despite having children together.
But I don’t know his name.
I believe he was from Edinburgh
William ran hotels in Perth and Kingussie.
My father now lives in Lockerbie, and his cousins are in Banchory Aberdeenshire.
Not sure if any of this ties in with the William Steele mentioned in the original post......my dad is going to try and dig out the paperwork when he tried to do the family tree
